I was born in '91, but I've loved Star Wars since I've been able to cry. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing any Star Wars in theaters besides the Prequels which, and I apologize for this, is why I'm excited about them in 3D, so I can see them in theaters.

I get what someone (I forgot who) said each person has their own definition of what Star Wars means to them. Makes sense.

I love STAR WARS - the movie and its two sequels.

I was born in '88, so I never saw the originals in cinema and I even saw the Special Editions of ESB and ROTJ before I saw the original, so for me, wanting the original versions of the SW Trilogy isn't a question of some kind of childhood nostalgia, it's a question of film history - when I watch a film made in a certain era, I want it to look that way - I watched Butch Casidy and the Sundance Kid on Blu-Ray today and it was a beautiful transfer, which looked like a pristine print of a 60s film and it was magical.

I liked the prequels when I was a kid but I also liked Power Rangers you know. So when I grew up, I realized they weren't so great. I don't hate the prequels, I hate that they're the reason that the original trilogy movies, indisputably some of the most acclaimed films in history, and movies I love, are being changed in their image and the original versions suppressed into obscurity.
